New Taipei City Haishan police station held a crime prevention campaign for children on Feb 10. In addition to a question-and-answer prize giving contest, life-sized cartoon characters sang and danced to the online hit song “Little Apple.” Not only did the children fall over one another in eagerness to be photographed with the characters, they also exclaimed the one wearing glasses looked just like the popular cartoon character Detective Conan.
Haishan police station’s Chiang Chen-mao said that many offenders are led astray while growing up, therefore concepts of crime prevention and control should be instilled from an early age. Chiang also called on adults to be ever-vigilant of their charges during the winter holiday period, saying children should avoid contact with strangers to prevent giving evildoers an opportunity to transgress.

新北市海山警分局二月十日進行兒童犯罪防治宣導，除了進行有獎徵答外，還派出大頭娃娃唱跳網路爆紅神曲「小蘋果」，小朋友不但爭相合照，還直呼戴著眼睛的大頭娃娃「好像柯南！」
海山警分局長江振茂表示，很多犯罪者都是在成長過程中誤入歧途，因此犯罪防治觀念應向下扎根，他也再三呼籲學童寒假期間外出，大人應隨時緊盯，小朋友也應避免與陌生人接觸，避免歹徒伺機侵害。

A Cameroon-flagged cargo vessel “Shunxin-39” was believed to have caused damage to an undersea cable of Taiwan telecoms operator Chunghwa Telecom on the morning of Jan. 3. It was suspected that the Chinese merchant ship, which was registered with the nationality of another country, deliberately cut off the cable by dragging the anchor over it. While the incident is still under investigation, China has a long history of using maritime tactics to sabotage Taiwan’s infrastructure. In February last year, two cables linking Taiwan to its outlying Matsu Islands were damaged within days of each other by a Chinese fishing
Scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery in the depths of the Pacific Ocean: oxygen production without the involvement of living organisms. Four kilometers below the surface where sunlight cannot reach, researchers have found metallic lumps generating what they term “dark oxygen.” This form of oxygen is produced through a process independent of photosynthesis. Unlike the traditional photosynthesis process, where organisms use sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to create energy and oxygen, the newly discovered phenomenon operates in complete darkness. The accidental finding occurred during a study of metal-rich lumps in an abyssal plain between Hawaii and Mexico. These lumps, known as
Have you ever dreamed of using an entire city as your training ground, effortlessly moving across walls, buildings, stairs, and obstacles? This is not just a fantasy from the movies. In cities around the world, a group of enthusiasts practice this seemingly impossible sport — “parkour.” The origins of parkour can be traced back to 20th-century France. A military officer named Georges-Hebert witnessed the incredible physical abilities of local residents in Africa, which inspired him to create the Methode Naturelle, or natural method. This training method cleverly combined climbing, running, and swimming with artificial barriers to mimic nature. Later, David Belle
Continued from yesterday（延續自昨日） https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/lang Using a device to isolate a section of the seafloor, the researchers aimed to measure oxygen levels in the enclosed water. Normally, oxygen rates would decrease as marine organisms consume it, but the result was contrary to expectations. The unexpected outcome prompted the team to further investigate the phenomenon. Researchers found the lumps emitted an electric charge similar to that of a AA battery. This charge is believed to trigger a process that splits seawater into hydrogen and oxygen, accounting for the increase. Traditional perspectives propose that oxygen production began around three billion years ago through photosynthesis by ancient
